Dutt opens up about Khalnayak Returns
Speaking about the film at the press conference, the actor said, as quoted by DNA, "Iska idea mujhe jail mein aaya tha (I got the idea for this while I was in jail,)" he said with a laugh, recalling how the film took shape. "Main waha jail mein gaane bajata tha. Toh baar-baar sabse zyada demand Khal Nayak ki hoti thi. Toh maine pucha ki agar Khal Nayak agar phir se banaye, toh kaun dekhega (I used to play songs in jail, and the most requested one again and again was Khal Nayak. So I asked, if Khal Nayak were made again, who would watch it?)," he added.
The actor said that he received an overwhelming response from fellow inmates. "And the 4,000 inmates said they all would. I asked all of them to write one page about it (new ‘Khalnayak’ story) and it took me a while to read all the 4,000 pages. When I came out on parole, I asked Subhash sir to go through it. After that, he said it should be made," Dutt said.
He expressed gratitude to Ghai for backing the project, saying, "The journey of Khalnayak has been long and without Subhash ji it wouldn’t have been possible. He is a legend and the man of entertainment. He will be part of this Khalnayak."
The film is yet to go on floors, and further details about the film are still under wraps.
